The DownsideWith
its noteworthy performance, the Trinity sub has few downsides. One
glaring consideration is the size of this sub. Although this subwoofer
produces a tremendous amount of thunder, it comes in a physically large
package. Although I have never had space constraints that necessitated
a mini-cube style sub, the Trinity sub sits in my theater like an oak
tree stump. I personally liked the size, because it played a dual role
as an end-table, yet those who yearn to conceal their subs may find
frustration. The fact is, if you want really big bass, you need a
really big subwoofer.

Due to its sheer mass and extreme
low frequencies, the Trinity Subwoofer, like all subs, performs best on
a solid floor. This sub can turn your suspended wood floor into a
rolling platform. To get the most out of this product, as I did, I
recommend solid flooring beneath it.

Conclusion
Subwoofers live a fairly thankless life. They sit in the background,
often concealed under coffee tables and in corners that are seldom
seen. Once they are set up, they are often forgotten about. We consider
the best performing subs ones that blend so well you can hardly tell
they’re on. To add insult to injury, they don’t even get a whole
number, as they are merely the “point one” in a 5.1 system. Subs are
like the Rodney Dangerfields of the loudspeaker world, but once you
hear a top-performing woofer do its magic, you will not want to live
without one. Without question, the Definitive Technology Trinity
subwoofer must be considered in an elite class of subwoofers at the
absolute performance level.

The Trinity is incredibly tight-sounding and a great compliment to any
high-performing entertainment system. It is deep enough to transport
you to depths you’ve never been before, yet can stay agile enough to
satisfy the most discerning music enthusiasts. At $3,000, it’s not
inexpensive when you look at the overall subwoofer market, yet with
regard to performance, the Definitive Trinity would be considered a
killer at double its price. At $3,000, this subwoofer is a steal.
